The Sanguinesti staff is a powered staff requiring 82 Magic to wield, and is only available as a rare drop from the Theatre of Blood. Named after the Sanguinesti region, the staff was crafted by Lord Lowerniel Drakan himself and given to Lady Verzik Vitur as a gift for her assistance in the Misthalin - Morytania War.

The staff has a built-in magic spell that can be used regardless of the spellbook the player is using and cannot be used to autocast any other combat spells. The spell gives no base experience and grants the player 2 Magic experience per damage dealt.

In addition, the spell possesses a healing passive effect in which successful hits have a 1/6 chance of healing the wielder half the amount of hitpoints dealt to a target. This healing effect can be seen via the 'upwards spiral' on the enemy; all other animations are the same.

The spell cannot be used against other players in the Wilderness. The only way that the spell can be used against other players is during the Castle Wars, Soul Wars and TzHaar Fight Pit minigames, as well as the Clan Wars minigame if the clan leaders enable it.

The Sanguinesti staff can be combined with a holy ornament kit to make a Saradomin-themed holy Sanguinesti staff. This cosmetic enhancement won't change the stats in any way.

A player using the Sanguinesti staff's built in spell.

Charging

In order to use the staff's magic spell, it must be charged with blood runes, holding up to 20,000 charges when fully charged. Each cast requires 3 blood runes, costing 1,065 coins per cast. The total cost to fully charge the staff with 60,000 blood runes is 21,300,000. Assuming non-stop use, with one cast every 2.4 seconds equaling 1,500 casts per hour, the staff costs 1,597,500 per hour to use.

Players can uncharge the staff whenever and wherever they choose, getting all of the blood runes back.

Maximum hit

The maximum hit dealt by the staff is dependent on the player's current Magic level, starting at 26 with level 82 Magic and increasing by one every three Magic levels, up to a maximum of 39 at level 120 (obtainable only through an overload (+) in Chambers of Xeric). Both magic damage bonuses and stat boosts will modify the max hit of the spell; likewise, stat-reductions will lower the damage. The staff always has a max hit of at least 5, even when reduced to 0 magic. Compared to the other two powered staves, the Trident of the seas has a lower base maximum hit by 4 (max of 20 at level 75), and the Trident of the swamp has a lower base maximum hit by 1 (max of 24 at level 78).

When on a slayer task and using the Slayer helmet (i), the maximum hit is increased by a further 15%. This bonus stacks multiplicatively on top of the other magic bonuses above, but it does not stack with a salve amulet(ei).

Uses

A player attack triggers the staff's passive effect.

Compared to the trident of the swamp, the built-in spell hits one damage higher with a maximum base damage of 34 compared to the trident of the swamp's 33. The trident possesses the ability to envenom, while the staff possesses the healing passive effect.

Thus, the staff is most optimal in situations where venom or poison has no benefit and where healing is required. However, if the player's target is not immune to venom, players could initially use the trident of the swamp against the target until the target has been envenomed, then switch to the Sanguinesti staff. Notable encounters where the staff's healing capability proves very useful include the Kraken, the Chambers of Xeric, Dagannoth Rex, Zulrah, and Nightmare.

	Volatile nightmare staff	82 50	196,004,158	+16	+15%	Can autocast both Ancient Magicks and standard spells. Has a special attack which consumes 55% of the player's special attack energy and deals a high amount of damage with 50% increased accuracy. This attack does not consume runes. Otherwise possesses identical bonuses and benefits to the Nightmare staff.
	Eldritch nightmare staff	82 50	97,319,156	+16	+15%	Can autocast both Ancient Magicks and standard spells.

	Sanguinesti staff	82	73,616,511	+25	N/A	Slightly stronger than the Trident of the swamp, with the same stats but able to hit one damage higher. Requires 3 per charge of the built-in spell. Built-in spell damage scales with the player's Magic level and can hit up to 32 at 99 . Has a 1 in 6 chance to heal the wielder by half the damage dealt. Tied with the Toxic staff of the dead and Trident of the swamp for second-highest magic attack bonus. Because the spell is built-in, the player does not need to carry its runes in their inventory and can use Arceuus spellbook, Lunar spells, or Ancient Magicks while wielding this staff.
	Kodai wand	80	119,375,256	+28	+15%	Can autocast Ancient Magicks, Arceuus spells, and standard spells. Provides unlimited water runes while equipped. When a combat spell is cast with the wand, there is a 15% chance that the wand will negate the rune cost for that spell. Currently offers the highest stat of any magic weapon in both magic attack and defence.
	Trident of the swamp	78	4,667,393	+25	N/A	Has the same benefits as the Trident of the seas, but with +10 more magic attack bonus. Requires 5 1 1 and 1 Zulrah scale (instead of coins) per charge of the built-in spell, and can hold up to 2500 charges. Built-in spell damage scales with the player's Magic level and can hit up to 31 at 99 . Has 25% chance to inflict venom on the target. Tied with the Sanguinesti staff and Toxic staff of the dead for second-highest magic attack bonus. Because the spell is built-in, the player does not need to carry its runes in their inventory and can use Arceuus spellbook, Lunar spells, or Ancient Magicks while wielding this staff.
	Toxic staff of the dead	75	8,836,365	+25	+15%	Can autocast Flames of Zamorak, Magic Dart, Crumble Undead, Arceuus spells, and standard spells. Has the same benefits as the Staff of the dead, but with +8 more magic attack bonus. Requires Zulrah's scales to recharge (up to 11000). Has 25% chance to inflict venom on an opponent. Tied with the Sanguinesti staff and Trident of the swamp for second-highest magic attack bonus.
	Master wand	60	3,115,065	+20	N/A	Can autocast Ancient Magicks, Arceuus spells, and standard spells. Requires 240 Telekinetic, 240 Alchemist, 2400 Enchantment and 240 Graveyard points, and a teacher wand equipped or in the player's inventory, to purchase from the Mage Training Arena. Thus it does not cost much besides the time and runes spent in the Mage Training Arena.
	Staff of light	75	4,229,733	+17	+15%	Can autocast Saradomin Strike, Magic Dart, Crumble Undead, and standard spells. Counts as both a Saradomin AND Zamorak item in God Wars. Otherwise possesses identical bonuses and benefits to the Staff of the dead excluding Flames of Zamorak autocast.
	Staff of balance	75	33,136,760	+17	+15%	Can autocast Claws of Guthix, Magic Dart, Crumble Undead, and standard spells. Otherwise possesses identical bonuses and benefits to the Staff of the dead excluding Flames of Zamorak autocast.
	Staff of the dead	75	4,187,875	+17	+15%	Can autocast Flames of Zamorak, Magic Dart, Crumble Undead, Arceuus spells, and standard spells. Has a special attack that halves all melee damage the player takes for one minute, which stacks with the PvP damage reduction effect of the Protect from Melee prayer. This consumes 100% of the player's special attack. When a combat spell is cast with the staff, there is a 1/8 (12.5%) chance that the staff will negate the rune cost for that spell. Currently the strongest staff when used as a melee weapon, surpassing the Ancient staff and Iban's staff, and provides +17 magic defence. Counts as a Zamorakian item in God Wars.
	Nightmare staff	72 50	34,040,815	+16	+15%	Can autocast both Ancient Magicks and standard spells.
	Trident of the seas	75	40,475	+15	N/A	Has its own built-in spell, requiring charges which cost 5 1 1 runes and 10 coins per cast. Can hold up to 2,500 charges. Built-in spell damage scales with the player's Magic level and can hit up to 28 at 99 . Has a weapon speed of 4 (same as scimitars/whip), while all other forms of combat magic only have 5 (same as longswords). Because the spell is built-in, the player does not need to carry its runes in their inventory and can use Arceuus spellbook, Lunar spells, or Ancient Magicks while wielding this staff.
	Ahrim's staff	70	126,093	+15	+5%	Can autocast Arceuus spells and standard spells. Can autocast Ancient Magicks if equipped with Ahrim the Blighted's equipment and the Amulet of the damned.

If used to cast Magic Dart on the player's Slayer task, max hit is 13 + (player's magic level / 6), rounded down, and uses 1 charge from the staff on a hit. Otherwise provides the same benefits as the Slayer's staff.
	Iban's staff	50	200,000	+10	N/A	Only staff able to cast Iban Blast. Can autocast Iban Blast and standard spells. Has 120 charges (2,500 if upgraded). One charge is used when casting Iban Blast on an NPC and two are used when casting it on another player. Iban Blast has a max hit of 25.
	God staves	60	80,000	+6	N/A	Required to cast god spells, but cannot be used to autocast them. Those who have 80 and the respective God cape can use the Charge spell, which increases the God spell's damage by 50%.
	Ancient staff	50	60,185	+15	N/A	Can autocast both Ancient Magicks and standard spells. Currently the third strongest staff when used as a melee weapon, behind the (Toxic) Staff of the dead and Ahrim's Staff.
	Slayer's staff	50 55	22,302	+12	N/A	Can autocast Magic Dart, Crumble Undead, Arceuus spells, and the Wave and Surge spells. Runes required to cast Magic Dart are very cheap compared to spells of a similar level. Maximum hit of Magic Dart is 10 + (player's magic level / 10), rounded down.
	Void knight mace	42 22	Untradeable	+8	N/A	Can autocast Claws of Guthix, Crumble Undead, and the Wave and Surge spells.
